SP2 has caused many problems, the ones I know of are like applications won't maximise from the task bar, the slow response and application hanging.
It depends what the specifications of your PC are? some PC's can handle it, others can't.
try to re-install SP2 again, and if you get the same problem do the following (Start -> Run and type sfc /scannow) you need to have the Windows XP CD in your drive.
See if that solves the problem.

I have done what you suggested, and it completed the check, but hasnt resolved the problem :S. I know that the computer is compatible, as I have used to before on the system - but have had to have a new hardrive - which is exactly the same as the one I had before.
